Question #1
The velocity of a body changes from 2 m/s to 10 m/s in 4 s. Distance covered in this time is (assuming constant acceleration)
A. 24 m
B. 32 m
C. 48 m
D. 16 m

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
a = (10-2)/4 = 2 m/s². s = 2×4 + ½×2×16 = 8+16=24 m. Or average velocity 6 m/s ×4=24.

Question #2
The efficiency of a Carnot engine working between 27°C and 127°C is
A. 75%
B. 25%
C. 50%
D. 100%

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
η = 1 - T₂/T₁ = 1 - (300/400) = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25 = 25%. Wait, T₁ high temp 400 K, T₂ low 300 K, so η = 1 - 300/400 = 0.25 = 25%. Option A is 25%. Let's correct answer A. I'll set option A: 25%.

Question #3
Ultrasound frequencies are typically above
A. 20 Hz
B. 200 Hz
C. 20000 Hz
D. 2000 Hz

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Human hearing range is about 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Sound above 20 kHz is ultrasound. Infrasound is below 20 Hz. Ultrasound used in medical imaging (sonography), cleaning, SONAR.
